Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The biggest prize in NBA free agency, LeBron
James, is expected to announce his decision regarding which team he'll play
for next during a prime-time television special Thursday night.
Sources told ESPN's Chris Broussard that James would announce his decision
live on the cable network during a 9 p.m. (et) special.
The reigning two-time MVP has met at his business offices in downtown
Cleveland with six teams, including his hometown Cavaliers. The Chicago Bulls,
New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Los Angeles Clippers and New Jersey Nets are the
others in the running for James' services.
He joined the online social media world on Tuesday when he joined Twitter, but
as of late night he had posted just one message welcoming people to his page.
Yet, as of 11 p.m. he already had over 185,000 followers.
The 25-year-old James has played for the Cavs his entire seven-year career and
stands to make more money playing for his hometown team should be accept a max
deal. The Cavaliers can likely offer James a six-year, $125.5 million
contract, while other teams can give him a maximum of five years and $96.1
million.
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, other prominent All-Stars, have yet to tip their
hand as to which team they will choose once the free-agent signing moratorium
is lifted on Thursday. Rumors were swirling that James wanted Bosh to join him
on the Cavs, but Bosh didn't want to accept a sign-and-trade offer from
Toronto to play in Cleveland.
James, who was second in the league at 29.7 points per game last season, also
averaged 8.6 assists and 7.3 rebounds.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
